The bpf is required for DHCP client. We cannot remove it, or cannot network install FreeBSD via fetch-IPv4-address-by-DHCP-only network. I doubt if we can already livin' IPv6-only network :-) I have no idea about eisa; I don't have any (PCs and cards). But if eisa is removed, we lost some users who has EISA-based PCs so it may be avoided. Note that both devices cannot load as a kernel module at this time; removing these devices means that we cannot use them for installation. -- - Makoto `MAR' Matsushita To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
